Indian Outr8ges.

DENVER June PA special to the Du-
range Idea from McElm, Utah, gives the
following particulars of q fiendish murder
by lot OF Navajo Indians: Last Wednes-
day about noon party of Navajo Indians
about five in number crossed the San Juan
river at Barton Bro. g trading post, eight
miles below Bluff City and after short
quarrel with Mr.. Amazon Barton. who
was the only man about the place. they
killed him by shooting him twice in the
head. They had a scuffle with him before
they did the shooting and at the time OF
shooting him they had him on the
floor with q rope around his neck.
One savage was holding this rope
which held poor Barton choked. Another
was holding him by the feet and another
by the ha nds and while they had him in
this shape they shot him in the head. They
then robbed the store and pulled out. The
only persons at the Ranches were Barton's
wife aud mother-in-law whom the Indians
for q wonder, did not molest. There is
considerable excitement in this part OF the
country and trouble 10 probably not over
yet as the Navajos are pretty saucy and
there are so many OF them.

the most brilliant OF the meeting. Einena,
who had been close a second, now moved up
neck and neck with the Walker horse and
came down the homes-tretch on q dead
level, both riders urging the horses
to their utmost. It vas a
most exciting event, and the people on the
grand stand stood with bated breath and
necks craned forward watching the two
thoroughbreds. It looked like dead heat
from the grand stand. but Ninena showed
under the wire first and the judges awarded
her the first place amid the applause Of the

passed Early. Jr., coming around the turn
Echo who passed under the wire full
length ahead. with Early Jr., length to
the rear OF Ninena. Time, 1:51. This sent
Early, Jr., to the stable, and left the race
to Ninena and Echo.

torrents, and the track was made very
slippery. The pools sold: Echo s25
Nineua S16. Echo took the lead, and al

heat Tramp still sold favorite, $25 to

but the driver instead OF keeping close to

the advantage. At the half-mile Tramp 8.
led and maintained his position to the
finish walking under the wire in 1886. The
Judges felt that the heat was not fairly

they got the word and Kate Carey went all

reached. The mare would not trot ard it
was evident that she had been fixed"

to diagnose. Tramp 8. pulled back on the

that the judges believed from the ct art that
the race was not on the square, and being
